Goal of the Webinar
Demonstrate and educate how to test bandwidth performance with iPerf
![Page 5: How to Test Bandwidth with iPerf - NetBeez](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a129011a7b741a34e80e4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
iPerf Overview● Free command line and GUI tool● Pushes TCP/UDP traffic between two hosts● Supported on Linux, Windows, MAC● Two major version: 2 and 3

Why use iPerf?
● Stress test your network during deployment● Troubleshoot network performance issues● Continuous monitoring of bandwidth performance
NOTE: iPerf consumes actual bandwidth

Lab Setup1. Two hosts (e.g. laptop, Raspberry Pi, public iPerf server)
2. Routing between the hosts
3. The receiving host must accept traffic on a specified port

Public iPerf Servers
iperf.netbeez.net
iperf.netbeez.net iPerf2 ports: 5000-5009iPerf3 ports: 5200-5209

Test 1: Laptop as sender of traffic (TCP/UDP)
Client
Server

Test 3: Laptop as sender to iperf.netbeez.net (TCP)
iperf.netbeez.net
iperf.netbeez.net iPerf2 ports: 5000-5009iPerf3 ports: 5200-5209
Client
Server

Test 2: Laptop as receiver of traffic
Server
Client

Test 4: Reverse iPerf (version 2 vs. version 3)
iperf.netbeez.net
NAT
Ask the server to send traffic back to client
